***************************************************

Design of complex artifacts and systems requires the cooperation of multidisciplinary design teams. The 2018 IEEE 22nd International Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work in Design (IEEE CSCWD 2018) provides a forum for researchers and practitioners involved in different but related domains to confront research results and discuss key problems. The scope of CSCWD 2018 includes the research and development of collaboration technologies and their applications to the design of processes, products, systems, and services in industries and societies. Collaboration technologies include theories, methods, mechanisms, protocols, software tools, platforms, and services that support communication, coordination and collaboration among people, software and hardware systems. Related fields of research include human-computer interaction, business process management, collaborative virtual environments, enterprise modeling, security and privacy, as well as social aspects and human factors related to collaboration and design.

The major topics of interest to the conference include, but are not limited to:

* Collaboration theories and methodologies

* Collaboration methods, mechanisms, and protocols

* Collaboration platforms, software tools, and services

* Collaborative computing (Agents, Clouds, Grids, Web Services, Blochchains)

* Collaborative processing of Big Data

* Collaborative virtual environments

* Collaborative wireless sensor networks and Internet of Things

* Collaborative workflows

* Collaborative workspaces

* Interoperability, ontology and semantics

* Security and privacy in collaborative systems

* Collaboration technology applications in aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing

* Collaboration technology applications in architecture, engineering, and construction

* Collaboration technology applications in business and administration

* Collaboration technology applications in healthcare and homecare

* Collaboration technology applications in infrastructure and facility management

* Collaboration technology applications in intelligent buildings and smart homes

* Collaboration technology applications in logistics and transportation

* Collaboration technology applications in power and energy

* Collaboration technology applications in social networks and entertainment

Submission of Papers

=============

Papers reporting original research results and experience are solicited. Each paper, written in English, is limited to 6 pages (IEEE proceedings format), including references and illustrations. Electronic submissions in PDF format are strongly recommended. Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will attend the conference to present the paper.

Submission Web Site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cscwd2018

Publication

=============

All submitted papers will be reviewed by program committee members and selected based on their originality, significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation. Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE categorized conference proceedings and will be submitted for indexing to EI (Compendex), DBLP and other indexing services. Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit revised and expanded version of their papers to be considered for publication in special issues of well-known international journals (confirmed with Elsevier Journal: Advanced Engineering Informatics).
